  1. I haven’t been to such an event, but the dua portion is a prayer. Dua means supplication in Arabic. Most likely, it will be like an after-funeral gathering with the special prayer(s). Dress how you would for church or a similar gathering. If the gathering is at a mosque rather than a home, err on the more conservative side with long sleeves and either a maxi skirt or long pants. If it’s at a mosque, you may want to take a scarf that you could put over your head if they ask you to. Some congregations are stricter than others about this. You don’t have to wear any specific colors. You could take a box of sweets as a gift for the hosts. You could also take a simple card. The traditional Muslim saying when someone dies is, “To God we belong and to Him we return” or some variation of that. This would be good to write in a card. Other options include something like, “May God have mercy on him/her and grant him/her the highest rewards.” You will be welcome and your presence appreciated no matter what you wear or bring/don’t bring, so don’t overthink it.
  2. What about something like this in the toilet room and two sinks in the other area?
  3. Sorry the link didn’t work. I forgot to check it! But I’m glad the idea was helpful, especially since I was multitasking and didn’t offer any explanation.
  4. Plastic sleeve for Medicare card
  5. This sausage and tortellini soup is simple, delicious, and easy to customize with whatever ingredients you have on hand or prefer to use. I use spinach instead of kale and add it at the end. I also usually skip the thickening step.
  6. I also had trouble with #2, but it wouldn’t let me leave it blank. I’m not at all worried about any of those things, so the answer I chose is not accurate.
  7. Any Friday prayer service at a mosque is a good time to visit, but the best time is for the night prayers during Ramadan, which will be in March and early April.
  8. I also suggest the Hobonichi Cousin.
  9. I haven’t ever done it since this is one of my “oops I forgot to plan dinner” meals; however, I think if you start from dry beans (preferably soaked overnight) and add the Parmesan, parsley (or spinach if you forgot to get parsley or don’t like the flavor of parsley), and lemon just before serving, it would probably be just as tasty in a slow cooker.
  10. Yes, absolutely you can use store bought pita. While I have made the pita from scratch a couple times, I rarely have time for that, especially not on the same day I’m making the hawawshi. Overall, hawawshi is very easy to make and easy to customize. For me the bread does tend to get a little soggy when I flip it and cook the second side. I imagine using a baking rack instead of just the sheet pan would make a difference. You could also crisp the soggy sides in a skillet before serving.
